The primary objective of the study is to identify the bacterial flora on the abutment in a phylum/species classification. The secondary objectives are to assess the relationships between the commensal skin flora and the flora on the abutment and to…
Investigation of the prevalence of sinonasal disease on CT-sinus in children with Cystic Fibrosis at different ages. This study will focus especially on the onset of sinonasal pathology in Cystic Fibrosis in relation to the development of the…
To examine the effect of parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system activity on the systemic innate immune response and the incidence of nosocomial infections in patients with vascular or traumatic brain injury. A second objective is to…
1. To investigate whether transmission of P. aeruginosa strains between CF patients occurs during a 1 day open air event and if so, whether there are patient-factors contributing to transmission. 2. To evaluate whether transmitted strains persist…
In previous studies we have identified specific receptor and surface protein expression profiles on neutrophils. Some of these profiles point at partially refractory neutrophils. In the current NERTHUS study we have seen that circulating neutrophils…
This study aims to identify qualitative and quantitative differences in innate, cellular and humoral immune response between persistent, intermittent and noncarriers of S. aureus.
1.) Is the gut flora of the healthy infant on day 3, day 7 and day 28 originally from the mother or the environment?2.) Is the process of colonizing in healthy term infants dependent on the mode of delivery?3.) Does breast milk contain bacteria and…
The objective of this study is to identify determinants, to determine the transmissibility and to determine the burden of disease of NT-MRSA and CA-MRSA carriage compared to other typeable MRSA strains in the community.
Overall aim: to determine the extent and risk factors for farm-based and individual acquisition of Coxiella burnetii infections on ruminant farms to improve veterinary, occupational and public health by providing leads for primary (reduce…
To examine whether the use of systemically administered antibiotics in therapy resistant Lichen Sclerosus leads to:- Relief of symptoms- Improvement of clinical picture- Improvement of histological abnormalities- Effect on quality of life-…
Primary objective: To determine the dynamics of MRSA carriage in persons working on or living at pig and veal farms.Secondary objectives: To determine the amount of disease associated with carriage of MRSA-CC398. To determine the role of exposure to…
Primary aimTo apply the CGT (intravenously and arterial sampling) in patient with multiple organ failure for the assessment of enterocyte function as a measure for intestinal (small bowel) barrier function.Secondary aimsTo compare the CGT with other…
The aim of the research is to enroll 100 consecutive untreated periodontitis patients for the normal standard treatment. We will investigate by means of venous blood analyses before treatment and 3, 6, and 12 months after treatement whether plasma…
This study aims to define the role of the IEC in S. aureus colonisation.
We hypothesize that local AMPs expression in the airways of patients with asthma is decreased as a result of allergic inflammation. Furthermore, we hypothesize that local AMP expression can partly be restored by vitamin D substitution therapy. We…
Establish relevance of a clinical scoring system, and of established and to be identified biomarkers in blood and urine for clinical course and clinical and microbiological outcome of patients with a complicated urinary tract infection, treated in…
Objective of this study is to investigate cytokine production and expression of toll-like receptors on monocytes in blood samples from pregnant and non-pregnant women using sonicates from different types of oral pathogenic micro-organisms and…
1. estimate the prevalence of MRSA among calve farmers, their families and relevant co-workers at the calve farm;2. determine potential risk factors for MRSA carriage for these groups3. determine the association between MRSA prevalence and types of…
1. The primary aim of the study is to investigate whether periodontal treatment results in a decrease of plasma biomarkers that are related to cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and metabolic syndrome (MS) and what is the effect of the treatment on the…
To determine and compare the periodontal status between the different groups of women. Periodontal examinations will be performed within one week after delivery. If periodontal disease is diagnosed within the selected groups, it is plausible to…
